You express the special relationship with your grandmother with such honor and grace. You are a talented poet. Your style has an honest, insightful and yet simple beauty. One doesn’t have to search for the meaning or try to peel through cryptic expressions to understand what you are seeking to convey. It shines brightly and clearly like a diamond. Love your work. Hope to come back and see more. Enjoy, Maria from “http://delightdirectedliving.blogspot.com/”

Hi Maria. Thank you so much for not only visiting but leaving such kind words. I hope to live up to your expectations (and “give it my all” – as you said to Gooper; sorry, I can’t seem to comment on blogspot sites)! Anyway, I’m inspired by Mary Oliver and William Stafford, and their poems are deceptively simple. Besides, I’m not smart enough to be cryptic. 🙂
